Among 47 traffic stops, police arrested 11 people and towed 10 vehicles. Some vehicles were lost to asset forfeiture, meaning the drivers lost the car permanently by participating in street racing. Most takeovers were broken up in minutes, police said in a news release.

    Why do they do these takeover events in populated cities? I mean they are obviously driving to a location for this so it’s not like they have to rely on public transport. Since they are driving anyways, why not just head to an abandoned airfield or abandoned mall parking lot or something. Doing this in the streets just seems dumb but n all accounts. They are more likely to get caught and more likely to injure others.

      Because they are attention starved little babies.

      Or, y’know, Portland International Raceway, which actually is more than happy to open its doors every Friday for guys like this to come and blow some steam off.

        Pretty sure PIR requires license, registration, and insurance, and based on most of these arrests, that leaves these idiots out.
